Abstract

In this paper, the modular line-connected photovoltaic PCS (photovoltaic power conditioning system) is proposed. A step-up DC-DC converter using a active-clamp circuit and a dual series-resonant rectifier is proposed to achieve a high efficiency and a high input-output voltage ratio efficiently. An IncCond (incremental conductance) MPPT (maximum power point tracking) algorithm that improves MPPT characteristic is used. The PV module current is estimated without using a DC current sensor. By control a inverter using a linearized output current controller, a unity power factor is achieved. All algorithms and controllers are implemented on a single-chip microcontroller and the superiority of the proposed DC-DC converter and controllers is proved by experiments.

본 논문에서는 모듈형 계통연계 태양광 PCS (photovoltaic power conditioning system)를 제안하였다. 능동-클램프 회로와 듀얼 직렬-공진 정류 회로를 이용하여 높은 입출력 전압 비를 효과적으로 구현하고 효율을 높인 승압형 DC-DC 컨버터를 제안하였다. 최대 전력점 추종 특성을 개선한 IncCond (incremental conductance) 방식의 MPPT (maximum power point tracking) 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 이 때 DC 전류 센서를 사용하지 않고 태양전지 모듈 (PV module)의 전류를 예측한다. 선형화 기법을 사용한 출력 전류 제어기로 인버터를 제어하여 단위 역률을 실현하였다. 모든 알고리즘과 제어기를 하나의 마이크로컨트롤러로 구현하고 제안된 DC-DC 컨버터와 제어기의 우수성을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.
